We Rate the Top 7-Inch Tablets

If Goldilocks were to get a tablet, she'd choose a 7-inch, because it's just right. Lighter and easier to handle than full-size tablets, these new devices are also generally more powerful than a smartphone. These qualities—plus fresh offerings from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, and Google—have led to a spike in small-tablet popularity. We judged the latest on specs, performance, and, for Goldilocks's sake, plain likeability.
